Wide man Henry started Easter Monday's thrilling 4-3 victory at home to Leeds United, which hauled Wolves into the Championship play-off places.

He said: "It's nice to be able to come back and give something to the community. The fans have been fantastic this season and anything we can do off the pitch for them is brilliant."

Among supporters were the Wales Under-21 international's namesake Lee Evans and his daughter Aimee, who made the trip from Albrighton.

She rates him as her favourite Wolves player because of the likeness to her Dad and that he wears her lucky number on the back of his shirt, 14!

The eight-year-old, a pupil at St Mary's School, said: "I always want him to be in the team, but Nouha Dicko is my second best player."

Dad Lee, 34, an industrial engineer at Land Rover Jaguar in the city, took Aimee along to Molineux after watching the Leeds win on Sky Sports.

He said: "We had been to Dunstall Racecourse and we didn't want to risk that we wouldn't get a ticket for the game by the time we got back, so we watched the game on television.

"It's funny really, I don't know who the more popular Lee Evans is in our house!"
